Building the Android Summit App — Flutter, Firebase, and Interns!
summary
Built a cross platform conference app using Flutter and Firebase in ten weeks with two interns producing a working Android app that syncs bookmarks across devices, pushes real time schedule updates and announcements, supports remote config, and caches data for offline use. Twitter integration required writing a custom feed and a backend cache to avoid API limits and an emoji substring workaround. iOS release has unresolved App Store hurdles and code will be open sourced after cleanup.
